- 0:57Speaker 1: How you doing, man, how the rattlers look tonight hey man, we look fairly good.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Eight it started off as a skill, but I want to say it's beautiful weather in Huntsville, perfect day for football.
- 1:09Speaker 3: I'm gonna take my hand off to Alabama and them.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Mr Hybel, who's a great assistant director, great host, school was a great host.
- 1:19Speaker 3: But listen, let's get to the native greeting, if you want.
- 1:21Speaker 3: When they, I mean 42 to 28, okay, gained Alabama and then 352 to 339.
- 1:30Speaker 3: So it was a pretty close game on stats.
- 1:32Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm gonna score.
- 1:34Speaker 3: It was totally different moosa pass for 245 yards.
- 1:37Speaker 3: He went 14 of 27, get a touchdown and one pick.
- 1:41Speaker 3: But we had a few turnovers.
- 1:44Speaker 3: That was kind of like fluke things.
- 1:45Speaker 3: But we pulled together the second half and we were officially crowned with the trophy presented to us tonight in the locker room Swag.
- 1:56Speaker 3: East Champs yes, sir, so we will be playing.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Some championships were locked up for FAMU and Florida State tonight that's right, that's right, you guys got any idea who who fam's gonna be playing in the swag title game.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Great day for football yep, right now is it who do they?
- 2:19Speaker 1: Who do they, who do they set to play?
- 2:22Speaker 3: All right Now.
- 2:22Speaker 3: We said to play preview.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's another one.
- 2:25Speaker 1: The same team they need at homecoming.
- 2:28Speaker 3: But one thing about you know when you play games like that playing a repeat you have to be really, really careful, because teams already know you and we got to still play cautious football.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Even though we won that each, we still have to play cautious football because it's just not a football left to be played.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Yeah Well, you know it started off a little slow here.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Florida State was out with like five receivers missing.
- 2:50Speaker 1: We found out Keon Coleman was out before the game.
- 2:55Speaker 1: But Chaka Douglas stepped up big with six catches, 115 yards, and it's funny that with both received both its top two receivers out.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Jordan Travis had a career high passing with 360 yards.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Whoa yeah, jimmy.
- 3:10Speaker 1: What did you think about the?
- 3:14Speaker 3: Yeah, let me hear what Reno got to say.
- 3:15Speaker 3: He's a full, Give me some.
- 3:18Speaker 3: I mean I really look great yeah.
- 3:20Speaker 2: I think I thought he looked great, man.
- 3:22Speaker 2: You know Fletch alluded to it.
- 3:25Speaker 2: You're out, wilson, you find out that that Coleman's out, although I'm sure he probably knew it ahead of time.
- 3:30Speaker 2: I thought early he tried to force it to Chaka Douglas a little bit, but I think that's to be expected, man.
- 3:39Speaker 2: It's probably the only receiver he's got full trust in that was out there today.
- 3:43Speaker 2: But I thought he played well.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Really, what I was, I was really impressed with the defense of line for the most part, man, they just, you know, they kind of stifled that running game.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I figured Pitt would have a little more success running the ball.
- 3:57Speaker 2: They were locked down, man, big night for Jekai, big night for the tight ends, and I think they had a what?
- 4:05Speaker 2: 140, 40 yards between the three of them.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Yeah, on 12 catches, touchdown for Biscuit, and that was something that we talked about.
- 4:14Speaker 2: You know that was a way we were going to exploit them the linebackers for Pitt struggling past coverage.
- 4:18Speaker 2: You can work the middle of the field.
- 4:20Speaker 2: It's a mismatch.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But you're right, man, it, it, it.
- 4:23Speaker 2: We started off a little bit sloppy, a little bit out of sync.
- 4:27Speaker 1: You know it was a fumble by Toa Fili on the first position.
- 4:30Speaker 1: The second position went over 90 yards but ended on a turnover and downs.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Yeah, what do we think?
- 4:36Speaker 2: We drove about 92 yards.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Got no points out of it yeah, but uh yeah, the streak in streak in you know 30 points, it's going to 30 in but I didn't want to pump it in.
- 4:50Speaker 2: No, I mean, you know this is a big win, man.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Big win when you got guys out, you can still.
- 4:55Speaker 2: I cried one out on the road and it didn't cover.
- 4:59Speaker 2: But right there you go.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Well, a lot of what the guys talked about after the game was the play by Fintrell, cyprus.
- 5:06Speaker 1: When they allowed the big play, it was like 81 yards.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that was huge man.
- 5:10Speaker 1: He caught him and forced the fumble right before he went in the end zone.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I think that sums up the fight in this team.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Yeah, with a big time.
- 5:16Speaker 2: No, we'll call it a George Teague-esque moment.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was man.
- 5:21Speaker 2: He kept fighting for it because I think he got beat on the play.
- 5:23Speaker 2: But you know, huge momentum swing to get the ball back, keep him out of the end zone.
- 5:28Speaker 2: And it was.
- 5:29Speaker 2: It was key man.
- 5:29Speaker 2: We were struggling there for a while, Mm-hmm.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Well, you know, we also, like he said, there was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine different receivers.
- 5:42Speaker 1: That got the ball Spreading it around, yeah.
- 5:44Speaker 1: That's our eight, Just like last week.
- 5:47Speaker 1: J'kylek, he led the team with six catches.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Jaheem Bell had five.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Yeah, really, the only thing that got out of the receiver was J'Kylek for most of the game.
- 5:57Speaker 2: I know Van Dreggeus Jacobs had a really nice catch.
- 5:59Speaker 2: I believe that's his first career catch, at least in any meaningful minutes.
- 6:03Speaker 2: But yeah, man, the receiving game, the passing game, was basically going to Douglas or the tight ends.
- 6:10Speaker 1: And then your guy Conrad Hussie made his Dude he's a player, man.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Yeah, first career interception, and he also forced the fumble later in it.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he was.
- 6:19Speaker 2: He could have kept his feet on that interception.
- 6:22Speaker 2: I think he was going to house it.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Yeah, Wide open.
- 6:25Speaker 2: But yeah, man, I really you know this.
- 6:29Speaker 2: It's hard to nitpick how you get wins in November.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Well, you could see everybody on the top of the standing struggle today, yeah.
- 6:41Speaker 2: We'll react to all of it.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Monday Planet team that just got embarrassed last week too in Pittsburgh, so they're going to come out pissed off.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Right, yeah, but the defense man they didn't.
- 6:52Speaker 1: I think they didn't give up one-third down conversion all game.
- 6:56Speaker 2: That's how you get it done, man, and I mean, it wasn't from lack of trying that Pitt.
- 7:02Speaker 2: You know they were going to get that under yard and kept them under it, man, it gave the game ball to the defense.
- 7:13Speaker 1: All right.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Well, Al, what impressed you the most about the performance tonight from the MU?
- 7:21Speaker 3: To be honest, their dark cloud defense was really put to the test today and I was impressed at how the way the offense, you know, kind of noticed that and was able to put up those type of points against Alabama and them, because the type of defense we have this year we don't allow those type of points.
- 7:42Speaker 3: So the offense kind of realized that man, the Coach Simons, kind of let it fly.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Yeah, what was the score of half?
- 7:50Speaker 3: I was just really surprised, man.
- 7:52Speaker 2: What was the score of half down there?
- 7:54Speaker 3: A half time it was 20.27.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, damn, wow A lot of points, no right.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Man.
- 8:02Speaker 1: So FAMU, though, will move on, florida State moves on.
- 8:06Speaker 1: They have.
- 8:07Speaker 1: It's Miami Week, miami Week, miami's playing NC State tonight.
- 8:11Speaker 1: We'll react to that as well, with Justin, florida survived.
- 8:20Speaker 2: No, they didn't they lost.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Yeah, they lost in overtime to Arkansas, yeah.
- 8:24Speaker 2: The Arkansas.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a rough one for Billy Billy Butts.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Yeah, clemson beating under Dame and we're going to look back at all the games.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Yeah, We'll have a bunch of reaction man.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Tomorrow morning the Dolphins started off at 9.30.
- 8:40Speaker 1: But it's pretty much just a business trip.
- 8:46Speaker 1: You could see.
- 8:47Speaker 1: You know it took care of it.
- 8:49Speaker 2: They didn't cover the spread, but Faced a lot of adversity during the game.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Yeah, three or four times you felt momentum was just on Pitt's side.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Yeah kind of luck.
- 8:59Speaker 2: All bouncing, weird Go.
- 9:01Speaker 2: It's a good grin, good grin, good women.

- 9:38Speaker 1: There's tourist stuff.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Tomorrow, man, we'll see some museums.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Do some sightseeing.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Yeah, don't get out of the South that much, right.
- 9:53Speaker 1: But this was another spot I wanted to get to.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Um might be the long time for you if she comes up here again, but big stadium, it was a good game, yeah.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Once we figured out we're going to win it.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Everybody else up here sweating the press box.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah Well, 24 to seven is the final in Pittsburgh.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Four to state moves to nine and a seven and a one, the ACC, with one conference game remaining, it's a big one.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes.
- 10:35Speaker 2: So you got to pull it out tonight.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I, you know I picked NC State.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know, I don't think they're going to pull it out, but they should, they.
- 10:45Speaker 1: They have the talent, but they just haven't played up to their ability all year.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Well, I think they should.
- 10:51Speaker 1: I think they should go with the kid from North Florida, emory Williams, and run the ball, but they, they play that air raid stuff.
- 10:59Speaker 2: So I'd be surprised if they threw it around a whole bunch against NC State.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Yeah, and she says it's got a good D, but you never know, I mean, carter, family is a tough place to play, not crazy stuff.
- 11:09Speaker 2: It sucks playing there, yeah, yeah.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Well what's up?
- 11:18Speaker 3: That's the state and where they were muddied.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Well, Al you, uh, you get home safely.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Man, we're going to, we're going to get on out of here and, uh, thank you for listening and we'll talk to you next time, right here on the North Florida sports network.
